Dear Members,

It has been a huge year for Meals Victoria. The conference was definitely a huge drain on all our resources. Next year we hope to follow through with a few things that came out of our AGM and more recently issues that came up following discussion regarding the findings of the Meals Provider Survey 2011 (see below). 2012 will also mark the first year that we slot in more remote (from Melbourne that is!) rural areas (see below). 2010/11 also saw a stronger commitment regarding our representation on the AMOWA (Australian Meals On Wheels Association) Board and we will continue this into 2012 – and keep you up to date more with national issues.

I hope to meet as many of you as possible next year at our four meetings. In the meantime I wish you all a Happy and Safe Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Member’s Survey 2011
Kim presented an overview of the Survey at our last meeting at Yarra Ranges – by the way thank you to Margo Holness for scoring the most picturesque view possible at the golf club – in a power point presentation. I thank you all once again for participating in the survey, I know for some of the financial information required you hassling your managers and numerous emails and phone calls – I know it was difficult. I must apologise to members, there has been a hold up, but we hope to have it released onto this site in late January. 

Clients On Film
It’s official. The launch of the DVD will take place on Wednesday the 21st of March between 1pm and 3pm at Moreland City Council’s concert hall. We’re having it there because it’s the most convenient place for the clients who starred in the films to attend. You will be sent a proper invitation in the New Year.

Directions for 2011-2012
It was agreed at the AGM and the meeting afterwards that we needed to focus on generic information such a booklets and client survey and feedback forms over the coming year. This was discussed in more detail at our next meeting in November. The committee will develop some actions in the New Year.
